I.Preface Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim.

Allahumma Salliala Sayyidina Muhammadin wa alaa Aali Sayyidina Muhammadin wa Sallim.

One hadeeth of Rasulullah (saw) tells us about what happens when Allah loves some one. "When Allah oves some one, he tells Jibril (as)"Ya Jibril I love this person so you also love him!” After that Jibril (as) loves him aswell and tell everyone in 7 skies and 7 heavens to love him. Angels, saints and other creatures will love him as well. When angels love him they will make people love him also. Our Moulana Sheikh Muhammed Nazim (qs) was a great beloved of Allah (swt) without a doubt. From east to west south to north He conquered everyones love. He gained everyones love. Every mureed can tell you a mircale happened between himself and Moulana. So many people who had not heard about tariqat saw Moulana in their dreams. I gave these examples because talking about him is beyond my limit. He was the Sultan of hearts. Sultan's always leave the best and the biggest legacy as they are the richest people ever. Our Sultan was the richest person in the world. He was having a great treasure which money or gold or gems cannot buy. He was the owner of peoples love. So his legacy is the one of the biggest and most precious legacy ever. He left for us our murshid, Sheikh Muhammed (qs).

Sheikh Muhammed (qa) was born in Damascus on 29th March 1957. He is the eldest son of Moulana Sheikh Nazim (qs) and our Mother Hacı Amina (qs). He spent his childhood days in Damascus. In Tasavvuf Moulana Sheikh Nazim (qa) and Grandsheikh Abdullah Dagistani (qa) were his teachers. At the same time he used to attend madrasa and took İslamic lessons from famous Ulema of Damascus. When Moulana (qa) and his family returned to Cyprus, Sheikh Muhammed (qa) was living in İstanbul and helping Moulana (qa) in there. For many years he accepted bayath for the name of Moulana and opened a lot of dargahs and zawias in İstanbul. Sheikh Muhammed (qa) was doing his service to İslam, to tariqa, to Auliyas and to his father and sheikh very silently. Even now He doesnt like to show what he does. Very humble and silent he continues with his khidhmat. He gives a lot of importance to khidmat. Until today he is working so much for khidhmat. He will never choose the work for khidhmat. You

can see today, him working in gardens and pick up oranges and tomorrow he can be seen having a meeting with very famous and high ranking people, for khidhmat. Nothing can stop him to serve Islam and tariqa. He hates to show off and also dislikes people who show off. He likes to forgive for the sake of his father. He doesnt care what others talk about him or gossip about him. From his sohbets you can listen or read that he said the gossips or peoples saying is less for his nafs! Even this shows how a great personalty he has. Like his father without any reasons thousands of people love Sheikh Muhammed (qa) more than their life. This is his mircale too. This love, which without knowing how it has started takes take control of your life and makes peoples lives better. Alhamdulillah he allowed me to write the preface of this book. I know I am very lucky to write this. What ever you read here is a drop of a drop from an ocean. I know that even this drop of a drop can make you love him. Anyone who has a chance to visit him just go and spent 15-20 minutes with him will understand the power and peace with him. Who ever wants to become happy here and here after must go and grab Sultan Sheikh Mehmed’s (qa) hand. May Allah never make us seperate from him. We know that with him we will be victorious here and hereafter. We, the mureeds and lovers of Moulana Sheikh Nazim (qa) have a big debt to Moulana (qa) because what he has done and is doing for our lives. Now we arein double debt to Moulana (qa) because he gave us Sheikh Muhammed (qa).

Al Fatiha. Shaykh Abdullah Tirani, Izmir - Turkey.

3.Be With Trustworthy Ones Shaykh Mohammad Al-Haqqani An-Naqshbandi, Thursday, May 15, 2014. As-Salamu Alaikum Madad Ya Rasulullah madad Ya Sahibu z-zaman madad Ya mashaykhina fit-tariqati n- Naqshbandiyatil-Aliyya. Madad Ya Mawlana Sh Abdullah Faizi d-Daghistani, madad Ya Mawlana Sh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, dastur, dastur. Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim Tariqatuna s-sohbah wa l-khayru fi jam'iyyah. As-salatu wa s-salamu alaika Ya RasuluLlah, as-salatu wa s-salamu alaika Ya HabibuLlah, as-salatu wa s-salamu alaika Ya Sayyidu lawwalin wa l-akhirin.

Al-hamduliLlah. Al-hamdu liLlahi alladhi hadana lihadha wa ma kunna linahtadiya lawla an hadana Llah. Al-hamdu liLlahi lladhi la yahmud ala makruh as-suwah.

Qala Allahu Ta'ala fi Kitabihil Karim, Audhu biLlahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim. Bismillahi r-Rahmani rRahim. "Ya ayyuha lladhina amanu ttaqu Allaha wa kunu ma'a s-sadiqin."(9:119)

This is our first sohbat after Sheikh Effendi. In-sha’Allah Sheikh Effendi's himmat (spiritual power) is always with us. By his order, by his instruction, May Allah is pleased with everyone, without any objection, we have taken over this maqam - we have been obliged to. This is our Prophet's way. It is not personal, it is not for persons. The holy verse says, "Fear/beware of Allah", Watch and respect the orders of Allah. Try to feel that Allah is with you always and 'Be with the trustworthy ones (as-sadiqin)' This way is the way of trustworthy ones, the way of Allah. The trustworthy ones come to this way.

Untrustworthy ones don't like such things, they go to other ways. There are a thousand ways, but the Way of Allah is only one. All the holy awliyas, and also firstly our Prophet, sallAllahu alaihi wa s-sallam, described the way of Allah. When 'tariqat' is said, tariqat means 'the way'. They (awliya) showed the true way to Allah; the way of trustworthy ones. This is Allah's order. "Kunu" means, He is ordering to 'Be with the Trustworthy ones.' What we are saying is that there are not thousand but there are a hundred thousand or a million ways, satan's ways. In order to make you go astray, there are many cheats and tricks. That is why our Sheikh Effendi's order is Allah's order, Prophet's order, their order, and Sheikh Effendi's order, that he follows - "Do not go off the way." "Be on the right

path with the trustworthy ones." Don't let satan whisper evil thoughts (waswasa) to you.

"I wonder what?" There are some things - Even when you know the truth, satan whispers to you its evil thoughts, and you begin to doubt if it is true or not. No! You are on Allah's Way, you are on Sheikh Effendi's way. With their help and blessings, this way will spread even more, many more people will accept Islam; they will not surrender to satan. Satan will be defeated because Allah is not with satan, Allah is with us. Allah is with the ones who keep His Orders. This is our first sohbat. It is short but pay attention to it.

Our Sheikh's maqams (stations) are very high, and will continue to rise until doomsday, even higher. Each person entering this tariqat, and when people hear his words/sohbats our Sheikh Effendi's maqam is rising, his name is more exalted in Allah's Diwan (Court). His maqam is already very high, but Allah's bestowals are endless, Allah's bestowals never finish. Allah - just as people like to give beautiful things to the ones they love, Allah 'Azza wa Jalla is granting non-stop blessings and nur/light on our Sheikh. And by the Will of Allah, people who visit his grave that nur/light descends on them also. For everyone visiting and praying for Mawlana, Allah 'Azza wa Jalla is bestowing on them, ten times, hundred times more of their prayers. May we all continue on this beautiful way, In-sha’Allah ! Sheikh Effendi's power was very big. He used to overlook faults, he used to forgive. This is why people (his people) are loose/slack a little. May we all behave more seriously, more firmly from now on. Our power is little. For this reason, may all followers strive more and display more himmat (spiritual striving) that, as much himmat as they can summon Allah will send that much more of His blessings upon them - Allah will help them.

Our way is not difficult by the Will of Allah. It is a beautiful way. This way is the way of lovers - The love of Allah not the love of dunya/world, not the love for a woman or for wealth. The love of Allah, that is and He is the Never-ending One. We have seen many lovers, loving a woman but in a few years' time they fell to quarreling, fighting, showing unpleasant behavior (to each other). That is temporary love. Eternal love, never-ending love is the Love of Allah, the love of the Prophet, the love of awliya. We are on this way In-sha’Allah !

This is the first sohbah after Mawlana. But he is here also, just he is more powerful now. This is the Way of Allah, Rasulullah - The best way. There is millions of ways, but not straight. The way of Allah is only one.

If you go little bit away you go in danger. But as we said there is million, billion ways, roads that are going to bad places, shaytan's road. But one road, Islam. "Tariqat" -

meaning 'way', 'road'. So Mawlana he is showing this way. And he attends with us here. We read first this ayat/verse - "O believers beware of Allah." (9:119) Because Allah is with you. If you are not feeling this you cannot be afraid of Allah, or you will do anything you can do. "And be with true people (the Trustworthy)." (9:119) - who speak truth with everything. Awliya' Allah, sincere. Sorry my English is very weak. But just to make connection a little bit.

The first order is this: "Beware of Allah and be with sincere people." (9:119) Don't go with bad people. With who is not... They say something after they are not (doing). You cannot believe them. No! You must be with ones who when they say something they say truth. Trustworthy! And you be with them. This is the order of Allah. And to follow the order of Allah it is obligatory, fard. "Sumu" - meaning you must fast - this is an order also. Pray is an order. Be with trustworthy people - it is an order also. So this is the first order today coming insha'Allah, express from Maulana - To be with trustworthy people. And don't be with people who want to cheat people. Maulana, he said something and Alhamdulillah we are all together. This is big ni'ma, big favor, not to be separated. And today it is from his karama, his power. Because Allah He is giving Awliya' Allah power more and more.

Every day he (Maulana) is getting higher and higher. Allah Is Generous, and they are beloved. Beloved persons, servants of Allah. And if you like somebody, everyday you give him something also. The most Generous Allah (awj) - everyday He is making more and more and more. And who is coming to visit him (Mawlana) or making from (far) away also his baya' and his tawassul (connection to) from Mawlana - he gets his reward and gets Mawlana higher stations also. For each people, insha'Allah I think from his baraka he will be this Tariqat Naqshbandiya - Tariqat - way of Allah, Prophet (saws) and ahl as-sunnah wal jamaa' - will be increased more. I think 1000 times more. Maybe 10.000 times more against who is not respecting the Prophet (saws) and Allah (awj) - because if you are not respecting the Prophet and Awliya you are not respecting Allah. This is who is a liar. Who is liar, who is not believing, who is not respecting Awliya' Allah and not respecting the Prophet (saws).Allah make us in this way without going out. It is from first sohbah, Alhamdulillah alladhi hadana li hadha. Allah He bring us to this way. We cannot do without His Will. Insha'Allah His Will after this, from baraka of Mawlana and all Mashayikh al 'izam/great Shaykhs and Prophet (saws), to be more strong. To show Ummat Muhammad (saws) (the Nation) the right way. Not leave (let) these shaytan people to destroy our children, our families with bad things. It is real - from not the right way, these people.

Wa Min Allahi t-Tawfiq. Al Fatiha.

4.The Essence of Shariah Tuesday, May 20, 2014.

As-Salamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. Madad Ya RasulAllah, madad Ya Ashabi RasulAllah, madad Ya mashaykina fi ttariqati n-Naqshbandi, madad Ya Abdullah Daghestani, madad Ya Sh. Muhammad Nazim Haqqani , dastur, Tariqatuna s-sohbah wa l-khayru fil jam'iyyah.

In-sha’Allah these assemblies, these associations, will be everlasting, they will increase. With the blessing of Shaykh Effendi, with the permission of Allah, every word he told you is truth, it is right. He said our dergahs will increase. He said there will be 40,000 dergahs. This is certain. That's why we have no doubt about it. This is an association. Tariqat as-Sohba and to be together it is khair (best). Mawlana he was (giving) good tidings and said, insha'Allah this association it will be more and more and growing. And Insha'Allah will be 40.000 zawiyas, dergas for the Naqshbandi Tariqa. And what he said is true.

Insha'Allah for this, we are no doubt. We are no doubt. It is not easy, but (it is an) order. The ego likes to go, likes the easy, easy things. Hard things, they run away from hard business, from hard work, good work; only for easy and for enjoy their ego. Ego likes enjoyment. But an order you must follow. What Allah orders, what Prophet (saws) you order - mashayikh also they are following this order. So when they said something, we must follow. These are the things Shaykh Effendi said. It's not easy, not easy to obey the order. It's not easy to sit in this maqam, because the ego doesn't like such things. It wants an easy work. It doesn't want hard work to be done. How much easy work it does, it wants to do the same job. It wants to escape the order. That's why, the job of this tariqa is to obey the Commands of Allah, to obey the things told by our Master, to obey the commands of mashayikhs. And this - if you obey, in the beginning it is hard. However, when you defeat your ego, you get the beauty and taste of faith. Nothing becomes hard for that man. But before you do that, of course, a lot of effort is required. To do this, it is difficult but when you continue to do what ordered you be ... Allah gives you enjoyment and taste for Iman, for belief, that you cannot find in anything else. So it will be nice for you and more easy to do this. But first it is really difficult. After also difficult, but when-it is all time difficult - but when you taste Allah gives you this taste of Iman, sweetness of Iman, everything it is easy for you. Even in old times they burned believers, they did not turn back from their Iman because it is easy to burn or to cut, but - when you are alive it is not easy - but when Allah gives you this taste, sweetness of Iman, you cannot feel anything else. You cannot leave it. It is more painful to leave Iman than to cut your head or to cut hand

or to burn - It is more painful to leave your Iman. For this, to teach this, Tariqa Allah sent to Prophet, Sharia' and Tariqa - The essence of Sharia'.

We are not out of Sharia'. Sharia' without Tariqa is like a body without a soul, ruh. As soon as you get that taste of faith, it's not easy again; however, despite that tests still continue, and there will be big tests, but those tests become nothing next to that taste of faith. As soon as you get that taste of faith, no matter if a man is cut or burnt, he doesn't care. He doesn't feel it. Because if the one who tasted the faith has it taken away from him, it is worse than cutting his head off, or burning him alive. Therefore, he prefers his faith & doesn't leave it. There are ayats in Qur'an that in old times, when people were thrown into the fire in trenches, they never lost faith. When they were told that they should not believe or they'd be burnt alive, they were all burnt alive but didn't lose faith.

But those on the other side without faith entered eternal hell. If the one burnt for several minutes before dying, the other burnt eternally. Allah doesn't even let them (those who believe) feel it. A man doesn't even feel that torture because of the strength of faith. And this is what tariqa teaches. Because sharia without tariqa is like a body without a soul. It has no use. When a man enters tariqa, it teaches him every beauty. Many people ask what is tariqa for. Tariqa is not something to be feared. However, it frightens people because shaitan doesn't like it. They say "he's from tariqa" - not only in Turkey, everywhere, in all parts of the world. In some parts they even call the people of tariqa mushriks. People of tariqa aren't mushriks (who associate others with Allah) On the contrary, Allah Aza wa Jalla ordered it for people to respect the prophets, saints and Muslims. When you show more respect they say you're making 'shirk'(worshipping other than Allah). This is the game of shaitan, of course. When the body has no soul, it becomes a toy in the hands of shaitan. He puts himself in harm and blames others for it.

When you speak in English also - it is hard to speak in both languages, something becomes forgotten. Shaykh Effendi, may Allah increase his maqam, may his himmat (spiritual power) be upon us In-sha’Allah We speak Turkish, when I speak Turkish I forget what I said in English. So Insha'Allah the important thing here is to make sohba and even if it is just a little bit Allah sends baraka. This is like a garden from Paradise now here from the Prophet (saws). Wings of angels are under us because we are majlis/gathering for Allah (awj) to teach people about truth. The last thing we spoke was in Turkish. Tariqa is teaching all good things. Without Tariqa you cannot complete your Iman because Tariqa is the essence of Sharia'. This is what Allah meant "Wa Man Yu'uta Al-Hikmata Faqad Utiya Khayran Kathiran" (2:269) The wisdom of Islam (is) Tariqa. Without this wisdom, you (get) no benefit, no khair. Khair, benefit, (comes) with wisdom. And this wisdom coming from Rasulullah (saws). Shaykh by Shaykh, they're all the same, continuing the same good

line. No dirty thing, all clear water, clear, pure water, pure Nur insha'Allah coming from Rasulullah (saws).

Tariqa, who not like Tariqa, the first one is shaytan. For this everywhere when we are saying, "we are in Tariqa, we are Sufi", they are looking at you strange. No, Tariqa is not a bad thing. It is teaching people the best thing. First teaching, adab. They say in Tariqa they are mushrik. No, not mushrik (making partners to Allah). Allah (awj) in Quran, in Hadith, teaching Islam. They make ranks. Prophet and Nabi Mursal, Nabi, after Awliya', Sahaba all they have ranks. How if you love them you become mushrik? No! But to not respect Prophet, you are not respecting Islam at all. This is the essence of who is not, they don't like Tariqa - because Tariqa is teaching good things. And they don't have anything to say against this, so just they are saying "you are mushrik." No, we are not mushrik. Who say "La Ilaha illa Allah Muhammad Rasulullah (saws)", Prophet (saws) saying going to Paradise Insha'Allah. You cannot say mushrik for who is saying this. Allah make them to see right way because we don't like to be arguing with Muslim people but what we are here saying - we are the purest following of Islam and order of Prophet (saws) and order of Allah (awj) and following His Awliya' Allah. Allah give their baraka for us and support us insha'Allah. And we are.. we are sure, insha'Allah, this association is a seed that Mawlana plant. It will grow against all this shaytan and his follower; by love and by love of Allah (awj) and love of Prophet (saws) and Awliya'. This is an important thing. When you love Allah, Prophet(saws), and Awliya' you love all creatures who is following them insha'Allah. Just like Shaykh Effendi used to say, we are bound to Allah Aza wa Jalla, the Prophet, sallAllahu alaihi wa sallam, and saints by their words and orders. This will increase, In sha Allah. These seeds planted by Shaykh Effendi will grow. Opposed to the ways of people who are confused by shaitan. The tariqa of Shaykh Effendi, Islam, Naqshbandi tariqa, the seeds planted by the way of Shaykh Effendi will grow. If they are surrounded by everything like a cancer, we will take them in In-sha’Allah with the love of Allah, the love of the Prophet, the love of mashayikhs. They are our brothers in religion, but they lost their way.

As we say: La ilaha illAllah Muhammadun Rasulullah, we can't be considered mushriks. Who says that is shaitan. There is hadith sharif of our Master: whoever says La ilaha illAllah Muhammadun Rasulullah will enter paradise. And mushriks don't enter to paradise. Therefore, with the permission of Allah, they will come to the right path. This is the news of Shaykh Effendi. His himmat (spiritual power) will increase upon our brothers, upon our people In-sha’Allah . May Allah sanctify his secret, increase his himmat. May his blessing be upon us In-sha’Allah .

Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

5.Pure Love Wednesday, May 21, 2014.

As-Salamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. Madad Ya RasulAllah, madad sadati Ashabi RasulAllah, madad Ya mashayikhina fittariqati n-Naqshibandi, madad Ya Abdullah Daghistani, madad Ya Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al Haqqani, dastur. Tariqatuna s-sohbah, wa l-khayru fij jama'iyya.

Our Master, our Prophet is saying, Al-mar'u ma'a man ahabb. (A man will be with the one he loves.) Allah Azza wa Jalla, in Quran al-Karim, says "Qul in kuntum tuhibbun Allaha fa'ittabi'uni yuhbibkumu Llahu"(3:31). This our religion is a religion of love, based on love. Love must be real. Love must be true love. To whom can be the real love? It is for Allah Azza wa Jalla. It is for our Prophet and for awliya, also for salihin (the righteous) and for believers. Muslims are brothers and sisters. You must love your Muslim brothers/sisters as you love yourself, says the Hadith Sharif.

The Prophet, alaihi s-salam, orders as the Holy Verse says, "if you want Allah to love you, you love Allah, but in order that Allah love you, 'you must follow the way I (sas) show you.' Our Prophet described whatever should be done; he described the beautiful ways. He had described what works should be done. If you do these things then you can follow our Prophet's way, that means you are behind him. Then Allah will love you. You say "I love Allah" but then you do bad deeds. This action makes you a liar.

Humans, when there is someone they love, they do the things he/she loves. That is to say, they do worldly affairs as the person loves and likes, in order that that one should love him/her. When you love someone, if you do the things he/she doesn't love he/she will hate you, will dislike you, keep away from you. We are saying this as an example. So if you love Allah Azza wa Jalla, if you love the Prophet, and if you want Allah to love you, you must follow Allah's Beloved servant's way, our Prophet's way. And follow Awliya and Muslims who are on his way. Do as they do.

So he (the Prophet) gives us good tidings; we will be with the one we love, In-sha’Allah . This will help us to recover from the pain we feel at our Sheikh Effendi's (passing away), this pain of separation (from our beloved Sheikh) is not easy, but we are believers who believe in what Allah says. Belief in what? We believe in the ghayb/the unseen. We believe in Akhirat/Afterlife. We love him.

Sheikh Effendi used to say, I am ninety years old but I remember my childhood as if it was yesterday. We are 50 or 60 years old, if we live 10 years, 20 years, 30 years more, like within a blink of an eye, by the permission of Allah, we will reunite with our Sheikh again. This thought is a comfort for us. And if we love him In-sha’Allah we will be with him. But as we said, do not follow your ego, but follow your Sheikh and what he says. No one should

give fatwa. There shouldn't be - this is it, this is that. From now on everyone must be careful. Everyone must protect himself from the evils of the ego.

If you do like this, Allah will love you, and you will be with the ones Allah loves. Allah 'Aza wa Jalla, in the Qur'an is saying - if you are, if you love Allah, follow Prophet (sws) and Allah will love you. And Prophet (sws) said - the man who is loving him, he will be with him. If you love somebody and this love is not rubbish love. The pure love is for whom? For Allah 'Aza wa Jall, for Prophet (sws) and for all Prophets (sws), and for awliya and sahaba - all sahaba. You can't say this one is good or bad. You don't know about this. Prophet was praising them. Don't put your opinion about this.

And for awliya - awliya means those who are beloved to Allah Jalla Jalaluhu. For Mu'min, for Muslims. Prophet (sws) in hadith said you must love for your Muslim brother as you love yourself. This is pure love, not love for dunya, not love for rubbish things. May Allah keep away this love from our heart. Many people destroy their family with rubbish love. They become like crazy and they are doing, for whom they love, they are doing what he like - not doing what he doesn't like. This is for rubbish love. You do what who (the person) in front of you likes. If you do against this, you will say - am I crazy to do this. If I do this they'll run away from me. So, for this Allah 'Aza wa Jalla said, at the time of Prophet (sws) - "in kuntum tuhibbunAllaha fattabi'uni yuhbibkumu Llah" (3:31) You must follow Me, you must do what I like. If you do this, Allah will love you. This is real love. If you find this love, it is enough for you forever. And awliya, and Mawlana especially, he was teaching us this love. For this, we must be more careful. More careful about what we do. If they are happy with the actions we do, you will be with them. And we are believers and of course Mawlana is now making our sadness more calm. Because we are believers, he gives us good tidings. In all sohbahs he was speaking about dunya and akhira and we are believing in akhira.

This is very good tiding. In last days, he was saying I am 90 - 92 years old, but I feel I just remember my childhood It's just coming like quick. So we are also now, maybe 60 or 70 years old. Maybe we can live 10, 20, 30 years more. Also it will be coming like wind, quickly it will pass. We will meet alhamdulillah. This is what's making us calm and we're happy for this. But when you will meet inshallah you are loving them, must be real love to follow them, do not follow your ego. inshallah Prophet (sws) said - man is with who is loving him but must be real. We cannot of course all do real

love but we'll try inshallah and inshallah we'll be with them. That year or 20 years, it is quickly going. We will meet inshallah again with Mawlana. Our murids, our brothers who passed away, our mother and grandfather are together now with Mawlana. This is alhamdulillah making us calm because if we are not believers it is finished forever, we cannot see him, but no we will see him inshallah soon.

Al-Fatiha.

6.Don’t Regret Thursday, May 22, 2014.

As-Salamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. Madad Ya RasulAllah, madad, Ya sadat-i ashab-i RasulAllah, Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, dastur, Ya Sayyidi. Tariqatuna as-sohba wa -l-khayru fi jam’iyya.

Our Holy Prophet, salla-llahu alayhi wa sallam, said in a noble hadith: do not say "if". "If" is the work of shaytan. "If only I had acted like this, that would have happened." "Had I only done this, it would have been like that." Have no regrets about what is past. The past is gone, there is nothing more to be done about it. But Allah's favour - every day that Allah has given you is a divine favour. All that you were not able to do... As long as you breathe, it is a blessing.

So you did not do your worldly work, so what. It is not important. Important is what you do for eternal life. That you will regret. If you did not do good works today, you can do, you can do them the following day. If you have regrets about it, Allah grants you your reward, because at least you felt regret. But in worldly matters, do not feel sorry, saying: "If only I had bought or sold that!" says our Noble Prophet. That is only shaytan's distraction, to keep people from worshipping. He will spend all his time in sorrow, his whole life in trouble, worry and regret.

Allah, ‘azza wa jalla, says in the Holy Qur'an: If you have done something unawares, without knowledge, and you repent of it, Allah is forgiving, merciful. He pardons you, and forgives you that act. Therefore, do not feel sorry about it. Another time will come for those opportunities you have missed for doing good works; you did not keep company with good people, you did not perform acts of worship. Don't worry about that, it does not matter. Allah forgives this. He will even reward you for worrying about it. But if you worry about worldly matters, it is of no use at all, you will get only sadness, sickness and disease; gloom and anxiety will come on you. But if your concern is about eternal life, Allah makes every breath a blessing for mankind. If you do this, He forgives you your former deeds and you are given new ones in their place by His leave.

The saints all repeat what the Holy Prophet has said, Mawlana says the same: Yesterday is yesterday, today is today. This means: yesterday is gone. Don't look for what was yesterday. Whether tomorrow will ever come is not clear, so make use of the present moment and live now. That is why every breath is a blessing. Every day is a blessing. In the morning we rise and thank Allah that we rose in faith, in Islam. Thanks

to Allah, today, insha'Allah we will do good works. May Allah permit us to perform good works and support us to that end. With Allah's support this can happen, not by man's own will. Every good deed we do is a great blessing from Allah. That we remain within the fold of Islam, that we stay on the right path, these are all gifts to us from Allah Almighty.

Together with Shaykh Effendi we had the benefit of these blessings for years, thanks to Allah. Insha'Allah we now continue on this same path and receive blessings; Allah has placed us on these ways. Let us benefit from these good ways till the day we die, insha'Allah, and we shall be together with them in the afterlife, for certain. Prophet, sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam, said: Don't say "if". "If" is from shaitan. This is a big trap from shaitan. When you do something, it's finished. You cannot take it back. We can't say: "If I do this, it will be like this - If I do that, it will be more better." Now I was (would be) a very rich man or I was (would be) in health, if I went (had gone) to a doctor or something like this. No, don't say this because it's finished. Only from shaitan this is. Prophet, sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam, said: even don't say what happened before two hours. Of course, people cannot do this. But it is...

If they are listening to what Prophet, what awliya had said, they would be happy. All time they would be happy. Because Allah gives a new day, a new opportunity to do what you didn't do. Especially, for akhira (Afterlife). Maybe you... If you are saying "if I do this, I pray. I couldn't do this" - for akhira it is ok. But Allah gives you new opportunity. New days, new... every breath. It is a big favour from Allah. If you do, Qur'an says, something, you do bad without knowing and after you remember, or you don't know, by ignorance you do this - you say maybe "I think it is good". But if you'll be sorry to do this, Allah will forgive you. If you regret what you did before, this is good. But for dunya, don't be sorry at all because it's finished. But for akhir, if you do something wrong and you're sorry and regret, so Allah is merciful. He forgives. He's Most Forgiving and Most Merciful.

Every teaching from Prophet, sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam, awliya also, they are saying same thing. Mawlana Jalaluddin Rumi said: Yesterday is yesterday - finished. Today is today - you must look for now. You didn't do good for yesterday but now it is for you an opportunity to do good things. Don't lose this opportunity. Every minute, every breath - it is a favour from Allah. Tomorrow we don't know if we can do anything, or if we can reach tomorrow. For this, you must use this, what Allah gives you. Don't lose it for nothing. Don't waste it.

Alhamdulillah, we were with Mawlana for many years. Alhamdulillah, it was a very good life. Very good. Everything very good. He showed us this good way. Alhamdulillah. In-sha’Allah he opened this way for us. We must be in this way. This is a good opportunity. We mustn't lose this. We cannot say "Why mawlana was last in hospital?" Also every breath Allah is giving him higher and higher ranks. So many

people were very sad because he was 20 days in the hospital and he was 2 years also suffering. But this is... he is happy with this because he's with Allah, with Prophet, sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam. And every minute, every second he was doubled his ranks. And he is not stingy. When taking all of his followers. Baraka for them also.

I was sometimes sorry but alhamdulillah, it is coming: don't be sorry, don't say "if this, if that". No. This, alhamdulillah, happened. Finished. And he's now more powerful, more careful for us. It's just made to people to not run away, but in opposite, they are coming more and more. When Mahdi, alayhi salam, is coming also he will support and In-sha’Allah we will see him in reality In-sha’Allah .

Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq. Bi hurmati-l Fatiha.

7.Lailatul Mi’raj Friday, May 23, 2014.

As-Salamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu Audhu billahi min ash-shaytani r-rajim Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. Tariqatuna as-sohbah wa l-khairu fi jami'yya. Madad Ya RasulAllah, madad Ya sadati Ashabi RasulAllah. madad Ya Sheikh Abdullah Daghestani, madad Ya mashaikhina dastur, madad Ya Mawlana Sheikh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani dastur, madad.

Insha'Allah after 3 nights there is holy night. Laylatul Mi'raj. This layla, night is the biggest miracle, one of the biggest for Prophet (saws). His miracles continuing from his time until now also, from Prophet's miracles. That day is no planes, nothing, people even to go from one place to place, need days and long time. So Allah make miracle to take Prophet (saws) from house of Umm Hani to Quds, Jerusalem. From there to the last point never, nobody reach to that place from any creature, not only human beings. And when he came back just his bed, it was still warm. So the 'time' for Allah is just created - creation. No time, they will find this after. For Creator, Allah is the Creator creating time. But for really no time for Him, only for creatures time. For Creator no time. So He can in one second can billions of years inside one second. Prophet (saws) He showed him all creatures until to get the last point of creation can come (he came). Prophet (saws) he is honoured by this favor from Allah (awj). But still Prophet (saws) he is, with this all what Allah give him, he was humble also. He said "I am the Master of human beings but no pride." Even with this he said, No, he is not proud.

We can, there are million of lessons from this Miraj, Isra' wal Miraj. One of them this: to be humble. Humbleness it is the better attribute for human being, especially for Muslims, especially for Sufi who is following Tariqa. And to what... He really went by his body and he was awake not in dream. Of course Tariqa people, ahl al sunna wal jamaa' they all believe in this but there's a new generation of Muslims. They say "no, maybe in dream, maybe in just without body." No! When you say this, especially these people, (who) they everything they are saying you become mushrik, if you say this you not believe on Allah. Allah He is Qadir, meaning He is able to do everything, nothing He cannot do. These people must know, especially who are reading a little bit Sharia' or they become educated Muslims. They say "what is this fairy tales?" No! Allah He is able for everything. In this night He show him every place in one night, maybe 2 hours but still these 2 hours for him to go and come to his bed it was warm. It is one of the biggest miracles of Prophet (saws).

But when mushrik people, this is mushrik people, they were also not accepting. They were laughing, they said to Sayyidina Abu Bakr (ra) "O look your friend he became," astaghfirullah, "he finish his mind." But he said, "Who said this?" - Abu Bakr As Siddiq. They said "Prophet." He said "I believe!" For this Allah make him Siddiq, the most believer sadiq/truthful, siddiq (the exaltation of truthfulness) most truthful. He

is the most believer. Alhamdulillah we insha'Allah we reach after 3 nights this occasion. We make praying with all, who around the world Muslim they are doing. They are celebrating. But I don't know maybe some place they don't believe in this, they are not celebrating. But it is one of the holiest nights for ummah. This is an occasion Allah gave to the ummah from His Generosity. Making occasion to come take. "Come take for you, as much as you can take, take." He said. So Alhamdulillah we are believers, and we, insha'Allah, hope to take from this endless favor from Allah (awj) and Prophet (saws).

Mawlana also he was very dikkat (watchful) careful for this night, holy night, making respecting, and making celebration to go many places where maybe shaytan pushing people saying "no, this is not holy nights." But no shaytan he doesn't want good for people, shaytan wants bad things for people. But people they are not understanding this. They say "cheating them." Awliya' Prophets all they want, as much value. Take something from them, they are more happy. Insha'Allah Allah many years with all your family or relative to be come for hidaya/gifts, for baraka and for Islam insha'Allah. In a couple of days, In-sha’Allah , in a couple of nights, I assume after three nights, it will be Laylat-al Mi’raj. It is one of the great miracles of our Master, the miracles granted by Allah Azza wa Jalla. None of the creatures, no one of those created by Allah ever reached what our Prophet reached, that maqam (station). He reached the highest maqam on that night. There are millions of miracles within a miracle. At that time, it was not easy to travel from one place to another. The shortest distance which we travel in 5 minutes now by car was not possible to reach even in two hours at that time. Our Prophet went and came back in two hours, maybe even less than two hours. Because when he travelled, he reached Jerusalem.

In Jerusalem, he prayed with prophets who were there. Then Mi'raj happened. What is called 'Isra' is travelling from Mecca to Jerusalem. Ascension from there is 'Mi'raj". There was no creature, neither in this world, nor in any other place who reached that maqam. Even Jibrail, alaihi salam, couldn't reach the highest maqam that can be reached by people. Being in that position, despite reaching that maqam, our Master is saying that he is Sayyid of people and that he reached the highest rank not out of arrogance. Why is he saying this? Because Allah Azza wa Jalla ordered him to say it. But there was humbleness - he showed his humility. What suits a man the best is humility. A humble man - everybody loves him. Nobody loves an arrogant man. Our Master had the best attributes. The best manners were our Master's. Therefore, despite reaching beyond where anyone has reached, because of his humility, there was no change in his manners. Now some people say, especially those who learn too much or those who think too much - people who don't respect the Prophet - that he didn't ascend with his body and that he ascended in his dream or in spirit. No. Like there is Allah Azza wa Jalla, as we said, there is hadith shareef - they say that his bed was still warm after he travelled up and back. These people don't understand it - those little educated Muslims or those who don't respect the Prophet. Leave this aside, most people who don't respect the Prophet call us mushrik (polytheists), anyway. We are not mushriks, it's you not believing in Allah. Allah is Qadir (All Powerful), He is Qadir in everything. If you say He can't

do anything, you will show unbelief. You have to refresh Islam and faith. Because Qadir is from His attributes.

Allah created everything. Allah created you from nothing. And they say "No, he (sas) saw a dream, no..." If it was a dream, then why is it in Qur'an? People... Thousands of people keep telling "I saw this, I saw that" every night. It's not a miracle then. People should pay attention to this. Especially, these learned people, those who don't like sufis, should pay more attention to this. Time is something created by Allah anyway. There would be no time, if Allah didn't create it. Time is for creatures only. It is not applicable to Allah. It takes millions of years to travel the places our Prophet visited that night. Allah Azza wa Jalla, the Possessor of Power, put everything into a second.

This night is one of the holy nights Allah has given to people. These nights are something given from the great favours of Allah. It is kindness to people - Kindness meaning, a gift. As much as you wish, you take on that night. The more you take the more Allah Azza wa Jalla, the Prophet & saints will be glad. Because their tables are open. The more you take, the more they'll be happy. They are not greedy, hasha. There is no such attribute. They have the attribute of Power. Therefore, Sheikh Effendi used to pay much attention to these nights. He revived and respected the holy nights and prayed for everyone. These are the nights when prayers are accepted. They are the great favour of Allah. He gives connection to people to receive goodness. The table of Allah Azza wa Jalla is always open, and still He wants to give more. But people don't ask. Why don't they ask? Because shaitan doesn't want it. Shaitan doesn't like it. If there's something which doesn't benefit people, that is shaitan too. He doesn't want benefit for people even as little as an atom. And he puts people who philosophize and act intelligent in his trap more. "It's like this. It's like that". No, it's not like that. People of tariqa and mashaikhs teach the right way. Our Sheikh always revived and respected those nights. And everyone has seen their blessings.

In-sha’Allah we will revive again in a couple of nights. In-sha’Allah its blessing will be upon us. Fasting on the 2nd day, on the 27th. If you want, you can fast one day before, but the main fast of mi’raj is on the 27th.

Baraat's fast is on the 15th. But you can fast a day before and a day after. However, do not fast on Sunday with no fast on Monday. Fast on Monday as well, the main night is then. That is what our Master advises to do.

Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

8.Advice To University Students Friday, May 23, 2014.

As-Salamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu May the blessings of Sheikh Effendi be upon you In-sha’Allah .

He used to care for the young people. If you ask what kind of person Sheikh Effendi was, he was a Perfect Man, the one longed for. He was one of the longed for, rare personalities, the inheritor of the Prophet Muhammad, with both worldly and spiritual knowledge. All of his sohbats always had qualities unique from one another. He always tried to explain the meaning of our life. He used to say that we didn't exist 100 years ago, and no one will remain after 100 years. Therefore, life is not important, afterlife is important. Be rich as much as you want, be smart as much as you want, be pretty as much as you want, all of these are temporary. He paid attention to eternal life.

It was in the 40's when he studied. He got accepted by the university in Istanbul. He was studying, and in his senior year he left when he came to understand the Truth. That year... in those years, someone completing not just university but even a primary school earned enough to afford the best goods by getting employed in superior places. He left everything. He left it for Allah. He left it in order to teach people the truth of life. That's why we give Sheikh Effendi's advice here again. Life is temporary. Sheikh Effendi says he lived for 92 years and remembers his childhood as if it was yesterday. Suddenly it's gone in a blink of an eye.

We will give one piece of his advice here - praying is a very important worship. Make at least 2 rakats of prayer a day. All of you are young, you're in the beginning of your lives. If you do this you will be comfortable throughout your lives; your work will be successful, there will be no idleness and you'll be protected from bad things. Let this be a gift from Sheikh Effendi to you here. Let's not make it long so that our friends can speak. We thank you, stay well.

Q- What did Sheikh Nazim al-Qubrusi say as his last word on his deathbed? SME: He didn't want to go to the hospital. But when the ambulance came, it was obliged to take him. He stayed for 20 days there. During those 20 days, he was half awake and half unconscious. With an oxygen tube in his mouth, he wasn't able to speak. However, all the time he was making shahada. He was making dua - until the last moment, he kept doing this. Doctors over there saw it too. Until his last breath he was like this. This thing was put in his mouth. I'm attending a conference for the first time, I'm not used to it. When Sheikh Effendi attended, mashaAllah, everyone would be overwhelmed. He used to say that saints are humorous. Hadhrat Mawlana also had a sense of humor and he liked making jokes. Once, either from Cambridge or from Oxford, there were 3-5 professors with him. When Sheikh Effendi gave a conference,

he didn't like taking questions. He spoke and everyone looked with open mouths. Then they started... One professor was sitting next to him. He (Sheikh Effendi) asked if anyone had a question. As soon as the questions started, the professor listened then Sheikh Effendi told him to answer the questions. He made everyone laugh with jokes most of the time. But He had serious times also, but he made lots of jokes as well in order to relax people and situations.

Thank you.

May our meeting be good In-sha’Allah . May it result in all possible goodness for joy here and hereafter. May the minds of students be clear. May debtors find relief, may sick be cured, may suffering ones find solutions. The victims in Soma (miners), are assumed to be shahids, may they find extensive mercy. May Allah give patience to their families. May Allah increase the maqam of our Sheikh. May his spiritual strength be present. For happiness here and hereafter, for the pleasure of Allah, Lillahi Ta'ala

Al-Fatiha.

9.The Jewel of Guidance Friday, June 6, 2014.

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. Tariqatuna s-sohba wa-l khairu fi-l jam'iya. Tariqat is to give sohba and khair, best thing, to be together.

What we say in sohba just you understand what you understand. Allah gives you reward for your time for Allah. He wants you to hear good thing. So Allah, what you hear In-sha’Allah in your heart, even we may not understand, it is good also. Mashayikh, they like to... for this they have right to give sohba.

Mawlana, when he was my age, he was giving sohba morning after fajr, giving sohba after ishraq, after duha, after zuhr, after asr, maybe in one day ten sohbas. One book for each day. What he left - it is enough for us for 100 years. MashaAllah no 100 because Mahdi (as) should come soon In-sha’Allah . I remember when I was a child like this boy, Sheikh Abdullah Daghestani he was also giving sohba. He was normally giving after zuhr, because he was that day, that is last days, he was old also. Once what he gave - 3 hours sohba and he was putting teapot with fire (samovar). They put from upstairs (above) fire. It was maybe drink -small cup of course - 6 cups, 8 cups, sometimes 3 hours all one. Tea, it is a nice drink for mashayikh, they like it. Even when they are waking up for tahajjud, they were doing this. Now of course no one doing.

But it's also - they have special thing - giving benefit for body and for soul. I think because holy people, awliya, they are not saying anything without hikmah/wisdom. What they do, what they are acting, and what they eat, and what they drink, you must look and take lessons from this. They have teachings from Allah. When you are following them you'll be happy in dunya, and before akhira in dunya, you will be happy. Also in akhira of course, sure you'll be happy. It is important thing to be happy in akhira. But in dunya also, when you follow them really, you'll be nice. That time Mawlana is sweet life, good life. If you're not following that, you'll follow your ego, you'll have miserable life, bad life. Everybody with you... even with yourself - you are fighting inside yourself before with people. After you fight with your wife, you fight with children, you fight with family, with neighbor and miserable life - this is. For each man you argue with them or you're doing fight with them, coming burden on you. So you must be acting like Awliyaullah, like what they are doing, at least you must try to do this. Because you cannot do all what they say, but at least you try and they help. Even you do small thing, they help, you'll be happy. I've come to this age. This is an experience, experience for me and... but when it was Mawlana, he'd see thousands of people, thousands of people. What Mawlana said something, they doing some other thing and they become regret because they didn't do what Mawlana asked them. And you will see many people, they are doing what Mawlana saying, they are happy.

Mawlana not looking to take benefit from you and to say to you to do this and that. No. He's not saying anything - he say sometimes, many our brothers they were surprising how he knows this - Mawlana. So alhamdulillah, it is a big blessing to be a follower. In-sha’Allah we'll continue following. In-sha’Allah this boy also, all become whole life happy with love but when you are knowing your aim, it is easy. But when you are not knowing, you are searching for something you even don't know what you're searching, it is really miserable. This is what we see especially for non-Muslim people. They are really searching and they are clever, more clever than us, but shaitan, he don't let them to see the truth. They are ready for everything, but for the truth that's in front of their eyes they are not. You know this not truth, not this, not this" they said Alhamdulillah Allah gave us this favour that it is most valuable thing in our life. If you don't have this jewel, this favour, so your life it is very short - even hundred years it is very short, quickly going.

After eternity, you must have this jewel with you. It is favour from Allah to be happy forever. If you don't have this even in dunya, this world miserable, akhira will be very bad conditions. Alhamdulillah, many people following. In-sha’Allah coming more and more because Mawlana he opened way, his way will not be closed. It will be growing with his baraka, Prophet's baraka. Because they follow Allah's good teaching and they follow Prophet, and teaching how to respect Prophet. If you don't respect Prophet, sallAllahu alaihi wa sallam, you are not respecting Allah. This is what tariqa teaching people - to be respectful. If you respect, you will be respected. But no, you are not respecting My -Allah (awj) - you are not respect Me, the holy, the most one I love, how he will respect to - no he is taught for one this God - leaving alone this unrespect people. Allah gives these people also hidayah / guidance because they are good people, but they are cheated. They are cheated and they try to cheat our people also. For this, Allah In-sha’Allah shows them right way.

Wa min Allahi t-tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.

10.His Spirituality Is With Us Sunday, June 8, 2014.

He was saying if you see fire, it's Hadith also, make Takbir, Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Fire will come down. Three times in Cyprus near Lefke there was big fire before, dangerous big fire and nearly coming to Lefke. That time Mawlana he was strong and he can walk by himself. It was from morning until Asr time continuing. So after Asr we pray and he said we must go and make Takbir to take it down. So Alhamdulillah 3 days he was maybe one dekar(1,000m) from there come near road. And we begin to make Takbir. Suddenly finish the fire.

Next, second time it was before ... It is more near to Lefke. And really it was big and even there was helicopter coming taking water & throwing but still fire. This time it came more near it was nearly maghrib, before maghrib half an hour. So if they cannot stop it with the helicopter, helicopter nighttime they cannot work, and it is between mountains so the car cannot go there - only by helicopter. It was really black smoke. And also we can't go up mountain, the sea is down. But we stayed there, 20 men, making takbir after all smoke became white.

The third time it was last year. It was, he was not so strong. Also we went - it was this time very bad. So we went from very far he want make takbir but it was nighttime. After this people they said, after 2 hours it finished also. This is every word from Allah, gives special power but people must believe, be believers to do this. So this few of this, what he was left around Mawlana he went back to Lefke. He said "I am weak person." But if people want to go out he can make dua for people. And this two last years, he was very nearly 70 percent of his time making dua. Because this world or this people, world, Islam for to... Allah giving light to people all around the world, because he was given many times. from his irshad from this Saint.

Another miracle also this: many people, maybe more than 10.000 maybe 20.000 but I hear more than 1000 people they were saying about "we see this holy man in our dream." Some of them - "I see before one year", some before two years, some of them before 5 years. Even I saw one before 20 years she was and I saw in my dream. Even in dream he is giving irshad/ guidance,giving hidaya/gifts for people.

This is what ayat ordering to be with them - the true people, the trustworthy people Alhamdulillah we find them. Insha'Allah we take their order to continue on their way. Because Prophet (saws) saying, "the signs of mu'min if he speaks, he speaks true. If he promise he will do. If he is giving something he will keep for you." This is mu'min, believer's signs. And for munafiq also three signs. If he speaks, he speaks lie. If he promise, he doesn't make. If you give him something, he denies it, you can't trust him or you cannot work with him. If he works, if you are partner with somebody, somebody for dunya business, he is doing this -you are happy with him? No! You must be not happy with him. So all of us,

insha'Allah we are mu'min. We are believer. Do what we promise, for Allah, for Prophet, for Mawlana, for Awliya'.

Well of course, many stories. The biggest musiba, disaster for murid his Master to pass away. Yes, really not an easy one. It is the biggest one. But this is Allah's will. And they are happy to leave this world and to be with Prophet, with awliya', with sahaba, with all good people in Jannat. Because. they are in jannat for this area. But, we are accepting this from because they are coming from Allah, they are going same ways. All of us we will be way, our way always, for believer and nonbeliever, to akhirat. Everybody they will reach. Nobody lives forever. Forever of course, after this test pass away, we will live forever, the real life. Alhamdulillah they are preparing us for this real life. So we promised them, to go after them, their way, their teaching, what they were doing, what they were saying and advising us to do. We must follow this. Especially to not go behind your ego. Ego is a big e
